5. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, Sanwa Shurui uses a variety of other technologies, including clear GIFs (also known as web beacons, web bugs, or tracking pixels). They help us better manage our website, products, and services through the identification of effective content. A clear GIF is a small image with a unique identifier that functions similarly to a cookie and is used to track web users' online behavior. For example, Sanwa Shurui may embed clear GIFs or pixels in HTML-formatted emails to keep track of emails opened by recipients. This method allows you to measure the effectiveness of a particular email, collect deliverability data, and monitor the health of HubSpot's network. In addition, Sanwa Shurui uses data collected through clear GIFs embedded in emails in conjunction with customers' personal data.
